Our Story
Why we exist
Georgian football talent is world-class. It deserves world-class representation.
Playr 99 was founded on a simple but powerful belief — that the gap between Georgian talent and European football isn't about ability. It's about access, representation, and the right connections.
With roots in both Tbilisi and Berlin, we operate at the exact intersection where that gap can be closed. We know both worlds — the Georgian football culture and the European club ecosystem — and we use that dual perspective to give our players a genuine competitive edge.
Our mission is straightforward: get the best Georgian players into the best European leagues, and support them every step of the way.
The founders
Co-Founder & FIFA Agent — Tbilisi
After nearly a decade in Germany, Iva made a strategic move back to Georgia — positioning himself at the heart of Georgian football with deep local connections that are impossible to replicate from the outside. As a FIFA licensed agent, he brings the official credentials and the on-the-ground relationships that make deals happen.
With a formal degree in Sports Management and years of experience navigating both the German and Georgian football ecosystems, Iva is the operational core of Playr 99's scouting and representation work.
Co-Founder — Berlin
Born in Tbilisi, Nikoloz has spent nearly a decade building his life and career in Berlin. A former professional football player until the age of 17, he brings firsthand understanding of what athletes go through — the ambition, the pressure, and the sacrifice required to compete at the top level.
After transitioning from the pitch, Nikoloz channelled that competitive mindset into business and entrepreneurship, developing a strong background in finance and building a wide network across Europe. He co-founded Playr 99 to bridge the world he grew up in with the one he now operates in.
What drives us
Every decision we make is filtered through one question — is this the best move for the player? Not the club, not the fee. The player.
We don't cold-call clubs. Our European and Georgian networks are built on years of genuine relationships with decision-makers on both sides.
We represent careers, not contracts. We plan for where a player will be in five years, not just where they sign next season.
Let's talk about your career, your ambitions, and what we can build together.
